Christmas Wolfenstein 3D

"Christmas Wolfenstein 3D" is a notable modification (mod) of the classic first-person shooter game "Wolfenstein 3D," developed by id Software. Created by Bob & Adrienne, this mod infuses the original game with a festive Christmas theme, offering players a unique and seasonal twist on the classic gameplay. Released in December 1993, "Xmas Wolf" has since gained a place in the hearts of retro gaming enthusiasts, especially those who enjoy creative mods of classic games.

Key Features of Xmas Wolf:

  1. Thematic Overhaul: The mod features a complete Christmas theme, with levels and graphics redesigned to reflect the festive season.

  2. Christmas-Themed Enemies and Graphics:

    • Guards are replaced with Santas.
    • SS guards are turned into snowmen.
    • Hans Grosse, the boss character, is depicted as Santa Claus.
    • New sprites include presents, Christmas trees, small snowmen, and tin soldiers.
  3. Wall Decorations: The mod features unique wall decorations such as festoons, bells, festive messages, and even a depiction of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

  4. Easter Egg: The first level contains a special room (an Easter egg) that features images of people (possibly Bob & Adrienne or their acquaintances) with humorous messages on the walls.

Availability and Versions:

  • Original 1993 Version: Featured 10 levels, some of which were based on the original Episode 1 levels of "Wolfenstein 3D."

  • 1997 Port by Colonel Bill: This version brought enhancements and fixes to the original mod. The Easter egg room from the original set was omitted in this version.

  • 2010 SDL Release: An updated version using SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) technology was released, based on Colonel Bill's 1997 port.

  • Arielus' Xmas Wolfenstein 3-D: Another version that includes the original VSWAP file, which was mistakenly dated from 1990.

  • Compatibility: The mod functions with the shareware version 1.4 of "Wolfenstein 3D," making it friendly for porting to various systems.

  • Bundling with Risc User Magazine: In October 1997, it was bundled with the registered Acorn version of "Wolfenstein 3D" for the 100th issue of Risc User Magazine.

Conclusion:

"Xmas Wolf" stands as an excellent example of early video game modding, showcasing how creative fans can transform the atmosphere and experience of a classic game. It blends the intense action of "Wolfenstein 3D" with a light-hearted and festive theme, offering a unique gaming experience during the holiday season.
